not this bullshit, again.
this is a messaging strategy first used by the (second) bush administration to make the president appear holier than thou, or something. it apparently means something to christians; it's supposed to be a halo.
to a secularist, this is scary stuff - especially coming from the fake left. you can sort of laugh it off when the republicans do it, but...
it seems that the party has realized the importance of the white christian vote that it swung last election, and is trying to message towards it to try to maintain it. and, that's a tent i'd rather burn down than hang out in.
